How many days of child leave will a parent be entitled to after the changes of 1 April?

From 1 April, all parents are entitled to 10 working days of child leave until the child reaches the age of 14, regardless of when the child was born or how many days of child leave the parent has taken in the past.

Parents may use the 3 or 6 days of child leave provided for under the old law until 31 March. The number of days of child leave taken before the April changes come into force will not reduce or change the number of days of child leave granted under the law that will come into force on 1 April. If an employee uses up their child leave in the first three months of 2022, a new entitlement to 10 working days of child leave per parent will apply from April.
